Would recommend for any or all of your Family Law related cases.

Happy customer here for Carla Castaneda Terry, Attorney at Law with Bartholomew & Wasznicky. This was not my first firm, but it should have been. She picked up the case which was in shambles and straightened things out. Having support of the firm and other knowledgeable staff was a great asset as well. Competitive rates for the financially concerned. Communication was great, emails, in person, virtual , phone calls. I felt I was a respected client and not lost in the caseload. Nancy Garcia as the Senior Paralegal was fantastic as well. Quick on replies from Attorneyโ€™s desk and kept me in the know. Again, the communication was excellent! One tends to worry or get frustrated in the mix of court and legal jargon. As a lay person it was a comforting feeling during stressed times having this Firm on my side. Would recommend for any or all of your Family Law related cases.

Communication was great and he delivered exactly what I wanted.

It was a very difficult time for me. I had contacted several lawyers. No one would take my case due to availability and not enough preparation time. Nathan Gladly excepted my case. He quickly got to work. Communication was great and he delivered exactly what I wanted.

I recommend her strongly for anyone dealing with a complex family law/custody issue.

Family law is extremely unpredictable and should always be a last resort. I would avoid it if you can, however, that is not always possible. I was being brought into court on bogus accusations for several years, with the courts taking no action against the other party causing this.

Diane was extremely clear in her plan to request a 730 evaluation. She understood the complexity of my case as it had gone on for about 9 years already at the point of our meeting, and knew which professionals to work with to have this situation understood, fully.

Diane is honest to a point that will offend some, but this is truly her biggest asset. She will tell you directly what it is that you need to hear, possible outcomes, and what you may be doing wrong in some cases. She understands the characters involved on both sides, ie the attorneys, judges, evaluators, and all their differing personalities.

I was able to get the correct outcome, resulting from two separate evaluations over several years. Dianeโ€™s shrewdness and skill are what allowed us to both make a plan and execute it clearly, and with extremely favorable results. I recommend her strongly for anyone dealing with a complex family law/custody issue.

Worked well with my other.

It was a very complicated divorce with many outrageous claims. Therese and her assistants handled everything very well. If there was something she wasn't sure about she had no problem telling me she would talk to Hal for his opinion. She also worked well with my other (non family type) attorneys. No problem contacting her or assistant if anything new came up. I would definitely refer anyone to at least schedule a consultation with her.

- Steve D.


Demonstrated expertise, resulting in a fair settlement.

From the initial consultation, Diane listened to us, was patient, and represented her client very well. After filing for the divorce, we learned about a Pre-marital agreement (PMA), which altered our negotiating strategy somewhat. Diane made the necessary adjustments and demonstrated flexibility. She negotiated spousal support, which resulted in a good outcome. She also negotiated access to a life insurance policy, which would not have been available under the terms of the PMA.

Throughout this process, we appreciated that Diane was responsive and accessible. She showed compassion and concern for her client. She demonstrated expertise, resulting in a fair settlement for which we are very grateful.

HONEST attorney who will represent you in a professional way.

We chose this firm to help us work through some details from my partners previous divorce. We met Nathan Erikson and immediately knew he was great. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything in terms a non-legal brain could understand. He was patient and kind to us every step of the way. When it was time to look at some other issues within the previous divorce agreement, we went to Nathan again. He was just as wonderful as before and helped us so much. I can't say enough good things about him. If you're looking for an HONEST attorney who will represent you in a professional way and not pull any typical attorney stuff, he's the best. Thank you Nathan, you're awesome!

They provided the kind of representation that any attorney can be proud of.

My wife and I needed help to address an interstate and tribal custody issues affecting our grand child and another related child. They proceeded quickly and professionally.

Our grandkids are now safe. I am an attorney though I havenโ€™t practiced in domestic matters for a quarter century. They provided the kind of representation that any attorney can be proud of.
